Serve An All Star Brunch For Dad
If you ask me, the best way to start off Father’s Day is with a table full of dad’s favorite brunch recipes. Surprise him with an all star spread of waffles, eggs and fruit, and don’t forget his favourite coffee.
Cookout Kit Gift Pack
Wrap up a sentimental gift basket or vessel full of essentials for your dad to be the ultimate braai master on the next family braai. Here’s what to include:
- Box or vessel of some variety
- Wood beer caddy
- An apron
- A collection of BBQ smoked sea salts
- A branding iron for a personalized touch
- A BBQ set
- 5-6 of his favourite cans of beer
- Small squeeze bottles
- Homemade ketchup
- Sticky labels
- Thick black and white ribbon
Turn Your Home Into A Spa
Who said it’s only ladies who deserve spa treatments? Dads deserve some pampering too! Turn your home into a relaxing spa by lighting candles and playing soothing music, or dad’s favourite jams. If you or your kids aren’t great at giving massages, this is a great time to practice and have fun. It’s not about being a professional masseuse but the thought that counts. Also, just as an apology for the 2/10 spa treatment from you and the kids, give him a gift basket full of self-care goodies including shaving creams, lotions, and soaps.
Picnic Olympic Games In Your Backyard
Pack up some sandwiches, grab a blanket, and then head out to your backyard for a family picnic. He will enjoy the sunshine and some fun backyard games, especially with all his favourite people around him. Bring the Olympic spirit to your backyard by organizing an afternoon event with cornhole and bean bag toss games, horseshoes, croquet and other lawn games. If your family is competitive, make it interesting and the score at each game and tally up the points at the end to name a winner.
Family Game Night
Is dad the competitive gem in the family? Let him lean into his competitive side during a family game night by playing competitive games like 30 Seconds, Charades or Monopoly. If dad loves trivia and brain teasers, you can even host a family trivia night to make his night even more special.
Host A Campfire
This will most definitely warm his heart, literally and figuratively! End his Father’s Day on a sweet note by roasting marshmallows over the fire as a family. As people are eating their favourite meals from the picnic basket, ask everyone in the circle to step closer to the fire and share their fondest memory with dad or grandpa. It will make this moment even sweeter and memorable if you can't make a campfire, a fire grill is a perfect replacement. Father’s Day is best celebrated with family and amazing food, so fire up the grill to make a delicious meal that everyone can enjoy. Take the opportunity to learn a thing or two from dad or simply cheer him on as he serves plate after plate of juicy burgers, grilled veggies, and all your favourite meals. Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing fathers out there! We hope you enjoy the spoils from your loved ones.
